Manchester Parks Get 238 New Litter Bins

0:00On March 20th, Manchester's parks now have 238 new larger litter bins installed across 61 sites from big spots like Bogart Hole Cluff to smaller neighborhood greens. These upgrades target the worst old bins with bigger capacity to handle more waste before filling up, plus locks to keep litter secure and cut down. On mischief, visitor numbers jumped to 9.2 million last year, up 50% from the pre-pandemic 6.1 million, driving a 62 percent, rising collective rubbish bags, adding 65,000 more. Council teams picked these bins to make collections smoother and contain trash better against wind. More replacements are coming with 62 additional bins planned, gearing up parks for a busy summer of picnics and events under the clean end, green initiative.
